Ryan has kept a great attitude and persevered in the face of paralysis.
Keep up your recovery. Hope you and your family have a long and healthy life.

I like seeing these updates about his recovery and wish him
all the best. He is an inspiration to many.

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:58:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2578338#comment-6537797People in Pittsburgh are probably more wary about kids/grandkids playing football after watching all this stuff with Ryan unfold and we see him all the time on news and game broadcasts and he still looks very frail and weak to us.

I was skeptical about my own 8-year old grandson playing and it was his parents call. I will say the discipline, hard work, teamwork and commitment required by him has already made him more responsible in what he does from getting his homework done before practice and even what he eats. He had some focus issues early and he was put on the bench for that. But next time, he was laser focused.

So I can definitely see the benefit of this even tho we worry about him.

Ryan’s story will continue to play out. No one I know realistically thinks…or even wants him to play again but we hope the Steelers keeps in the organization as a scout or coach. We love the guy.

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:52:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2578338#comment-6537789Why does no one ever point out that his injury was the direct result of his own actions, launching himself like a missle, head first, into his opponent? I have great sympathy for him, but have never lost sight of exactly how he injured himself in what today would be 15 yd penalty and cause for ejection for intent to injure his opponent. I argued this point via text with friends who were conversing during the game. I argue that Mike Tomlin teaches and encourages these tactics…
